My favorite haunt for street photos is Amsterdam, with Utrecht a close second. Both are about 30 minutes drive from my town. Sometimes I drive to one of the two on a weekend and come home with very little, for no apparent reason. I guess it is just part of life when doing street photography, which by definition is relatively unplanned and spontaneous.
